The Ugly Face of Socialism

Seems like everytime either I or someone else mentions the utopia wrought by Hugo Chavez you hear the sound of crickets here. A well written essay on what we have to lose, and why the fight must continue to keep that ugly institution at bay here in the land of the free. Not "free lunch" but freedom to chart your own destiny.

Just keep cashing the checks and saying to yourself "socialism is great". Unless, of course, some BTO is getting a bigger check, right?

This Obamacare fiasco is really showing to be a tipping point in America, though, as so many people that would be working harder have done the math, like you did, and see that it doesn't pay under the new rules. How do you feel about that? You were one of the first to write about it...does it make you feel good or do you think something is wrong?

Natural result of democracy being dismantled from the outside. What remains is a system controlled by gangsters and oligarchs.

Last resort borrow money from petro facists and allow the narco economy to carry on, short of any means or hope or deterrence. Or alternatives. They want to collect. The western powers who destroyed your democracy want a pound of flesh. You've got nothing left but your nuked principles.

I know it feels great to feel smug about reading a lot and you should read. However just because you read The Pilot's Handbook that doesn't qualify you to get behind the stick of a Boeing 767. And also Hitler wrote a book, just because Mein Kampf is on the written page doesn't elevate it above garbage. You need to read with discernment.
